98SE2ME = Killer Replacements: ME -> 98 SE

[MDGx]

hi MDGX. i have another problem. after install 98se2me my usb and modem doesn't work.

Try this:

1. Install Maximum-Decim's NUSB drivers [98SE2ME should be already installed]:

http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=43605

2. (Re)Install your modem drivers [thank u PsycoUnc].

Make sure u have newest modem drivers from your modem manufacturer.

If that doesn't work, please post your results here.

Hope this helps.

I like better the older ones with XP style logo though...

[i'm not a big fan of ME style graphics. ;(]

How about this?...

The ME style graphics are gone, and I redrew the Windows logo so it's cleaner. Also, didn't use diffusion in the outer glow and drew a starburst highlight effect.

Should the starburst be a bit more faint?

You can get the file here.98SE2ME_8_12_05.rar

Hello, MDGx.

It's a very good project, but unfortunately I have exactly the same problem -

RASPPPOE - PPP over Ethernet Protocol for Windows 95/98/98SE/ME

Did you find the solution for it?

Thank you.

IMO:

Actually this 1 looks better than the 1st one.

The starburst effect looks good the way it is.

I like this 1 better, I'm going to make it the official 98SE2ME logo.

Keep up the good work.

Do u have a d/l link for this new logo?

Thanks a bunch.

Did u mean Farscape "Starburst" edition DVDs?

RASPPPOE - PPP over Ethernet Protocol for Windows 95/98/98SE/ME

Thank you.

Please try this:

1. Install current 98SE2ME edition [as of 7-14-2005]:

http://www.mdgx.com/4

on a 98SE system without any older 98SE2ME versions installed.

2. Install Maximum-Decim's NUSB drivers [98SE2ME should be already installed]:

http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=43605

2. (Re)Install your modem drivers.

Make sure u have newest modem drivers from your modem manufacturer.

If that doesn't work, please post your results here.

Unfortunately, because I don't have a DSL modem [RASPPPOE], I can't test this.

Hope this helps.

Hello, MDGx.

I don't have any modem.

I use this to connect.

Here is a description:

This is a PPP over Ethernet (short: PPPoE) implementation for Windows 95, 98, 98SE, ME, NT 4.0, 2000, XP, .NET. PPPoE as a method for establishing PPP connections through Ethernet adapters is described in RFC 2516 and is used by many broadband service providers to allow authentication and maintain the familiar "dial-up experience" when connecting to the Internet through a broadband modem.

And when I replace 98SE files with Me files I can't see my ISP.

And when I replace 98SE files with Me files I can't see my ISP.

This complicates things, I'm afraid.

Please correct me if I'm wrong:

From the little I've read about the www.raspppoe.com implementation, this method of using an Ethernet (NIC) adapter to connect to an ISP [PPPoE protocol] requires a phone line [or a power line where such standard is supported] to connect the Ethernet card to the internet, something similar to using most types of DSL modems, which de facto use the PPPoE protocol.

If this is true, I can't experiment with this protocol, because my ISP is a cable provider [Comcast], and I connect to their servers with a USB cable modem [no separate Ethernet adapter], which uses a different protocol: DHCP over LAN.

...this method of using an Ethernet (NIC) adapter to connect to an ISP [PPPoE protocol] requires a phone line [or a power line where such standard is supported] to connect the Ethernet card to the internet, something similar to using most types of DSL modems, which de facto use the PPPoE protocol.

Oh, this method does not require a phone line. You just install this protocol, then run RASPPPOE.EXE and it finds available services in your local network. Then it creates a Dial-Up Connection for your Ethernet Adapter. You connect to internet just through Ethernet adapter.

I'm sorry for bothering you.

I've checked dll's used by RASPPPOE.EXE :

INDICDLL.DLL , MSVCRT.DLL , OLE32.DLL , RPCRT4.DLL , TAPI32.DLL , VERSION.DLL

ADVAPI32.DLL , COMCTL32.DLL , GDI32.DLL , KERNEL32.DLL , SHELL32.DLL , SHLWAPI.DLL , USER32.DLL

but I don't know how it may help.

but I don't know how it may help.

Thanks for the info, I'll see if I can do something to fix this.

Edit:

I wasn't able to make RASPPPoE work with my USB cable modem, no matter what I tried, short of reinstalling Windows.

But looking at the DLLs used, this is what you can do to try to fix this:

1. Backup INDICDLL.DLL [from WinME = installed by 98SE2ME], restore the original 98SE file from C:\W98SEOLD\SYSTEM or extract it from the 98SE CABs if u don't have a backup, and then copy it to %windir%\SYSTEM .

Reboot, and see if your connection works.

You may have to run WINIPCFG and press the "Renew all" button.

Reboot 1 more time.

2. If that doesn't work, repeat all steps above with TAPI32.DLL .

All other DLLs on the list work properly as far as I can tell, and some are not even replaced by 98SE2ME.

Either way, please post your results here when you're done.

Hope this helps.

Read the RASPPPOE doc guys :

6. Troubleshooting

6.1 RASPPPOE application does not list the desired adapter

First, be aware that you can use this protocol only on Ethernet network adapters. As PPP over Ethernet only works over Ethernet, the protocol will only bind itself to Ethernet adapters (NdisMedium802_3). Adapters that do not support this medium type (e.g. internal or USB broadband modems that do not expose a standard Ethernet interface through their driver) are not supported by this protocol.

I've read the entire documentation [on + off-line], but I was hoping it would work anyway.

The worst part is everybody I know has cable or dialup, but no DSL. ;(

Thanks, got it.

Replaced the older 1 in 98SE2ME:

...sigh... yup, I miss Farscape (...and Firefly/Andromeda/John Doe/Angel/Buffy/....the list goes on, most victims of evil "reality" programming, I believe... )

-but at least the 2 main chars of Farscape recently transplanted to StargateSG1, and it's great to watch their interaction there (w/the occasional "quip" pointing to Farscape )

...and it's nice to see Lexa Doig showing up lately, also in Stargate and The 4400...
